My experiences with the new Nokia N96 Mobile Phone

I have had Nokia mobile phones since the nineties. I've tried other brands during this time, but I always seem to return to a Nokia.

My first experience with the Symbian operating system on a mobile phone was the Nokia 6680. I loved it, but then I had my handset stolen and I wasn't insured.

A little while later, I got the Nokia N70, which was the upgrade to the 6680. I downloaded Opera for Symbian and started to play around with freeware I found on the web. I realised that the mobile phone was developing into a true multi-function device.

When my next contract renewal came about, I went for a Windows Smartphone, to see what I could do with that. Although it functioned fine as a mobile device, it had its limitations. No OS-specific freeware was being developed, apart from Java apps.

So, now I've changed mobile contract and taken a brand-new Nokia N96 mobile phone. And I'm impressed - let me tell you.

About Freeware for Symbian Phones

You have a couple 0f options available to you when you buy the N96 mobile phone. Given that it has 16 gigs of disk space, you've got room to run applications. You can choose software that has been designed specifically for Symbian phones (software that ends .sis) and software that has been designed for Java-enabled phones (software that ends .jar). Some files may be zipped up (files end .zip) but don't worry - your N96 comes with an unzip facility already installed.

You can choose software that is free to use (Freeware), free to try, but has limitations until you buy (Trialware or Shareware), free to use if you view adverts (Adware) and commercial software (you pay for it from the start).

There's loads of freeware software out there that works just fine with the N96. Remember that the Symbian Smartphone operating system has been going for a number of years now and, thanks to those wonderful nerds out there who do it because they can, you have the opportunity to install and use applications that will make your life easier.
